iHeartRadio adds Facebook connection

San Antonio-based Clear Channel Radio on Thursday announced a social music listening option on iHeartRadio that is integrated with Facebook, making it easier for users to share music online with friends.

As of Thursday, people who use the iHeartRadio application will be able to publish their music listening to their Facebook profile. The new feature will enable Facebook friends to see which artists, songs and stations, including custom stations, people are listening to. Users’ activity will appear on an aggregated basis in friends’ news feeds and on listeners’ Facebook profiles.

This integration builds upon iHeartRadio’s existing profiles that show people what songs their friends have recently listened to and the songs and artists they like.
In accordance with iHeartRadio’s privacy policy, listeners will have control over how their iHeartRadio activity is shared on Facebook.
